report, bugs, funny stuff

[Albert]

My system is:
Kubuntu Breezy powerpc (PowerBook 3.5 1GHz, 512MB SDRAM) 


1) I've updated the KDE to 3.5. After using it for a week or so, and with zero 
applications open, the 'top' commands reports that 470 MB of RAM are in use. 
A clean reboot (with runmode 2, the standard) puts it down to about 240 MB. 
Obviously there are some memory leaks that keep piling up. And besides, the 
smallest memory fingerprint is enormous.

2) Quitting xine 0.99.3 puts xine windows away, but results in an unkillable 
xine that luckily enough it's not consuming CPU resources and about 5% memory 
"only".

3) Konqueror sometimes stays open (visible in the 'top' command), even though 
I've quitted the last instance. Is this the expected behavior for KDE 3.5? It 
wasn't for 3.4

4) In System Settings, the "System services" still show the "you have an old 
module around bla bla bla" error, except that now when pushing "Administrator 
mode" I get to the proper window to start/stop services. So it works, but it 
reports funny stuff that shouldn't.

5) "Airplane mode": I've taylored down the '4' running mode to a bare minimal, 
and I finally get a 'top' that fits amply within a screenful. With '4' I boot 
into tty1 and I run startx manually, which gives me a nice fluxbox. However, 
my postgresql with tcpip enabled for the JDBC to talk to it, is in trouble. 
The JDBC cannot connect to, complaining about "network unreachable", which is 
ludicrous, because I can still do 'sudo ifup eth0' and get a proper internet 
connection. Launching manually the 'networking' module does not help, nor any 
other module alone (I've tried all network relevant modules). Any clue, 
anyone, on which module is in charge of the 'local' network, so the JDBC can 
connect through sockets to a postgresql database?


Thanks for any thoughts.

Albert
